>> It's more than any other electric vehicle and they are actually leading sales in their segment of cars.

More than the Nissan Leaf?

A quick search of the Nissan Leaf's sales resulted in 9,819 in 2012. For this year, YTD in April was 5,550. This is US sales only.

--edit-- Worldwide sales of Nissan Leaf hit 50K in February 2013.

Granted the Tesla is in a different stratosphere as it relates to price, and in that market it's really doing well, considering the market that can afford a $90K car is much smaller.
